Lori Anne - Canine Behavior Coach

Jim and I reached out to Lori Anne for help with our young working breed dogs, Daisy and Duke.  They would fight when they heard horse and buggies, and living in Lancaster County, this was a pretty big issue for us.  We found Lori Ann to be very knowledgeable about the working dog breed and methods that would work for these high energy dogs.  She's really great at identifying what training methods give the greatest success for our dogs (and their humans).  She learned the personality of each dog and used training methods to adapt to each of their needs.  We are very pleased with Daisy and Duke's success so far and can't wait to see what Lori Anne can do with these training successes to move forward with more difficult unwanted behaviors, i.e. greeting guests and excessive barking.  We highly recommend Lori Anne for your canine training needs!

We rescued a 2 year old mini goldendoodle, Millie. She came from a retired puppy mill and lived in a barn her entire life so she didn’t know how to be a dog. She is described as suffering from shy dog syndrome. Millie was afraid of basically everything, noise, people, etc. She suffered from a high level of anxiety. We started out by taking Millie to a traditional dog training program for 6 weeks. She learned a few things but we found ourselves at a standstill. We signed up for a doggy summer camp with Lori. However before starting, Lori talked to each person who signed up his/her dog to determine if the dog could handle a group situation. Lori determined Millie was not up to it. Lori suggested she do a complete assessment on Millie. So this is how our journey began. In the 2 months we have worked with Lori, Millie has changed dramatically. Her basic skills are very good; leash, sit, stay, wait, making eye contact with us, how to handle house visitors, etc. Lori has continued to help us to expand Millie’s ‘world’. We now meet at our local dog park. Lori has and continues to teach us how to ‘read’ Millie. Millie is now interacting with other dogs and we are relaxed about it. We know how to handle the situations. Our Millie is learning how to be a dog; and one that we can manage. Going into this relationship with Lori, we weren’t expecting to achieve as much as we have. We still have work to do but we are very optimistic that we will continue to succeed in reducing Millie’s anxiety. We would give Lori 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
